[Voyage-linux] How to to enable OCF for openssl?

[Michael Fung]

Dear all,


Could anyone give me pointers or steps to enable H/W aes on my Alix board?

I tried these and it still does not work:

I am using voyage 0.6.2

modprobe geode-aes ocf cryptosoft cryptodev

use lsmod to confirm they are loaded

installed openssl0.9.8g-15+lenny1.ocf  (checked with dpkg -s)

then run:
# openssl speed -evp aes128
Doing aes-128-cbc for 3s on 16 size blocks: 961140 aes-128-cbc's in 3.00s
Doing aes-128-cbc for 3s on 64 size blocks: 308167 aes-128-cbc's in 3.00s
Doing aes-128-cbc for 3s on 256 size blocks: 83509 aes-128-cbc's in 3.00s
Doing aes-128-cbc for 3s on 1024 size blocks: 21321 aes-128-cbc's in 3.00s

If I run:
# openssl speed -evp aes128 -engine cryptodev 
It gives:
invalid engine "cryptodev"
and performance is still the same.


Thanks in advance,
Michael
